ably sereuade the members OF the present
| assembly. In most countries these gentle
men would become decidedly unpopular
among the fair sex, and would probably find
few partners when inclined to dance. They
would also have the M iorlty OF the ofhcers
Of any army against them. They have passed
law which should e>ult IN revolution OF
some sort or other. which reads as follows:

that in early life he was not thought to be
much of a lawyer, and, indeed, he once aban-

with sympathy for the dumb creature, the
men dlsroOed themselves of their overcoats
ana threw them on the mule so as to keep
him as comfortable as possible until the time
for starring home. After spending some time
Z the entertainment the party came out TO
hitch M to returr home but their surprise

distance Of, and in doing so he accomplished
the feat of walking across a bridge several
feet high on plank about eight inches wide
1t is related of those who were left in the
luTch that they Crawed across the bridge as
best they could, and thought themselves
